Re: A/C pros and cons
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Here are some stats what the US are using in terms of A/C:

What I am trying to do here is raise a little awareness. I have caught myself more than once complaining about 'development' and turning on the A/C a minute later.

On the other hand I have lived without a fridge in Culebra for years and did not miss a thing (I did go to town to have a cold beer from time to time).

And I have used ear plugs when staying in town.

Just the mere fact that we fly to Culebra makes our carbon footprint twice as big as our allocated piece. Do we need to make it even bigger?

Enjoy Culebra!
